PREFACB. 

In presenting this manual, my third revised edition, to our teach- 
ers, they will notice some changes in the arrangement of the work. 
Nevertheless I feel satisfied that those who have worked with the 
former '' Manual" will quickly become familiar with the working 
of this new " Manual." 

You will find that each grade has its separate work, as also each 
term, each lesson being assigned for one week's work. 

The lessons in Physical Training in this manual are specially 

arranged for use in our schools, and each lesson is complete in 

itself. If the entire lesson is given each day, we will exercise all 

parts of the body, which will tend to a symmetrical development in 

. strength, agility and grace. 

All exercises and lessons in this work are explained in as simple 
and concise terms as possible. The few changed or new terms will 
readily be understood by those familiar with the former manual. 
The terms used in this manual were duly considered and selected 
and the exercises carefully arranged according to the laws of 
education. 

I herewith wish to express my thanks to Carl Ziegler, M. D., 
\^ Superintendent of Physical Training of the Public Schools of Cin- 
cinnati, Ohio, for friendly suggestions. 

Our hearts being in the work we will find that the science of true 
physical culture aims at the harmonious and uniform development 
of body and soul achieved through 

" Work in the garb of pleasured

SPECIAL POINTS FOR TEACHERS. 

1. Proper commanding. Plain and earnest explanation of exercises 
given in a manner which will interest pupils so that they obey the orders 
with a good will, is a point worth studying for every teacher. The voice 
should only be loud enough so that the farthest pupil in the class can dis- 
tinctly understand the teacher. It is never the loud command of a teacher, 
but the distinct and decided command with a proper accent which will 
have the proper effect. Prompt response will invariably follow such com- 
mand, which result will also have a wholesome effect on the disciplinary 
habit of pupils. 

2. Thoroughness, i. e. the teacher should be familiar with her lesson 
before the gymnastic period, so that she will not feel compelled to consult 
the book for every command. The latter is a grave mistake, as it not only 
causes the loss of valuable time, but also lowers the pupil's confidence m 
the teacher's knowledge and ability. The teacher being able to instruct at 
the proper time without the constant aid of a manual, will also feel her- 
self more free and independent, and will be ready to arouse interest and 
enthusiasm in the pupil. 

3. To master the body is what is necessary for the pupil to learn. For 
that purpose it is necessary that every movement be executed vigorously 
and gracefully. When calling for an arm or leg exercise, the remaining 
parts of the body should be kept in a firm and quiet position,. 

4. Clothing. Pupils should never exercise unless wraps, overshoes, 
and overcoats are removed. They should also be impressed with the nec- 
essity of loosely fitting clothes during exercise, which will assist a healthy 
circulation of the blood. 

5. Pure air. If you exercise indoors ventilate the room well before 
beginning to exercise. Do not allow any draft whatever to strike pupils. 
The temperature indoors should be about 60° — 65° Fahrenheit during 
exercise. 

6. Where to exercise. The lessons in this manual are arranged with 
the view in mind that the regular school-room will be used in most places 
for this work. Wherever possible it is advisable to use the hallway or a 
vacant room, thus giving more space and a healthful change of air. 

7. Duration of time. The first exercise of each lesson should be in 
common time, after that the rapidity of movements should increase, while 
the last exercise should again be of moderate force. 

8. Arrangement of Class. Every gymnastic period should begin and 
close as laid out in Lesson 1 of I Grade. 

9. Fundamental position should open and close every lesson. 

10. Commands. There are four, viz., Command of Caution. Expla- 
nation, Execution, and Discontinuation. 

a. The command of Caution is first given, and is spoken distinctly 
in the word — Attention! 

b. Command of Explanation is then given and explains the position 
or movement to be executed, and is given slowly and well articulated so as 
to be well understood by all pupils. 

c. Command of Execution is given after a moment's pause, suffi- 
cient time for the pupils to think what to do. It is given in a sharp and de- 
cided tone, and consists of the word — Begin! 



8 SPECIAL POINTS FOR TEACHERS. 

d. In marching we use the execution command "March!" in male or 
mixed classes; in female classes, exclusively, we use the command 
-Walk!" 

e. Command to cease exercise, in general, consists m one woid. and 
is spoken firmly and decisively — Halt! 

Previous to the command "Halt!" we caution pupils by the word 
"Class — in the following order: — The exercises consisting of two move- 
ments you will count — 1 — 2 — 1 — 2, etc., at the moment you intend to stop 
you will command: Class (1) — Halt! (2) or if the exercise consist of four 
counts you will give the command of discontinuation 1 — 2 — Class (3) — 
Halt! (4). 

In marching exercises, you will caution pupils by giving the word 
Class — (on the L. foot) and when the L. foot comes to the front again — 
Halt! Then pupils will take the closing step with the R. foot. 

Notice will be taken that all pupils begin to exercise at the same 
moment, and continue exercising until another command is given. Be- 
fore the execution command is given, if necessary the teacher, or leaders 
of a class, will explain by going through the movements of the exercise, 
beginning with the right Arm or Foot, when the class must begin with the 
left Arm or Foot, so as not to confuse the class. Sometimes it is more ad- 
visable, instead of going through the movements, to explain a second 
time. 

In order to have all pupils exercise simultaneously, the teacher should 
mark time; either count aloud or beat with your hands or forepart of right 
foot, or what will msure still better attention, by moving hand from right 
to left or up and down, in this way guiding the movements. You may also 
I)eat time with a hard instrument on the table. 

n. Ventilation. If you have to ventilate your room by opening 
windows then do so by opening the upper windows and at least one lower 
window, the moment you start the first exercise; close your windows again 
before pupil? lake their seat. 

12. Breathing exercise should be taught only in the milder season, 
when windows can be opened. It should be given after each lesson, as it 
will slacken the increased action of the heart caused by vigorous exercise, 
and so leave the pupil in a normal condition to resume his studies. Our 
marching exercises will also have a similar effect. 

Breathing exercises have also the effect to enlarge chest and lungs. 
Breathing exercises should consist of a long and deep inspiration through 
the nostrils so as to expand the chest in all its parts. Here an example 
exercise: 

a. Position — Stand! 

b. Inhale and exhale through nostrils, each in five counts; teacher 
counting aloud in slow time. Repeat several times. 

c. Inhale in five counts and exhale in one count through nostrils 
or mouth. If through mouth the lips should only be opened slightly. 

(It is always advisable while inhaling that teacher should slowly raise 
one hand, and while exhaling also lower hand according to the time.) 

d. In grammar grades you can combine the breathing with arm 
inovements, i. e.. with raising arms slowly outward which will bring 
into play the accessory muscles of respiration. In these grades you can 
also attempt to count from 1 — 10 while inhaling and from 1 — 5 or 1 — 10 
while exhaling. 



SPECIAL POINTS FOR TEACHERS. 9 

13. Pure air being one of the most important necessities for the health 
of man, we should not forget that we need more pure air during bodily 
exercise than during rest. Active and systematic breathing being also a 
bodily exercise, the necessity of pure air during that time explains itself. 

14, Adapting of time to movements. In some exercises the intervals 
between the movements must be longer than in others. All head and 
trunk movements will and should take more time to finish properly than 
arm movements; in the latter movements we can move very rapidly. If 
arm and trunk (or head) movements are combined we will accept the 
duration of time from the trunk exercises. If arm movements and lunges 
are combined we will accept the duration of time from the lunging exer- 
cise. 

15. Exercise how often in succession is a matter which must be left 
to the judgment of the teacher, for what would be tiresome to one class 
would probably hardly afifect another class. But we can say that while 
arm exercises may be repeated from 8 — 12 times in succession, leg exer- 
cises about 8 times, trunk and head exercises should not be repeated of- 
tener than 6 times in succession. 

16. Exercise positions by word of command; especially every new ex- 
ercise, then move in time, rythm. 

17. Music. If you have an instrument available, such accompani- 
ment will add interest to the exercises. 

18. In warm days during early fall and in spring we often place two 
counts on every movement in gymnastics, so that the class would execute 
their movements on the odd counts and remain in a fixed position on the 
even counts. Thus an exercise of two movements would demand four 
counts, and an exercise of four movements would demand eight counts. 
While the class will and should exercise as vigorously as ever, this placing 
two counts on every movement allows a longer duration of time before the 
second movement follows the first movement; so there will be no danger 
whatever of overheating pupils. This mode of conducting free-gymnas- 
tics allows also a pleasant combination with marching exercises, which 
latter exercises will be used more freely during the spring ..rm than at 
any other time of the year. Example: — Straighten arm four times. 8 
counts — March forw. 8 counts — Begin! or: — Bend trunk forwd. and 
straighten arms downw. four times, 8 counts — March forw. 8 counts — 
Begin! You will find that the class can and will move with ease and pleas- 
ure from free-gymnastics to marching exercises without any jar or in- 
terruption. 

19. Explanations of Positions and Exercises. We found it of advan- 
tage to give all explanations for the different movements as we proceeded 
in the work. So you will find the explanations of how to thrust arms in 
II Grade, Lesson 6. For touchstep you find the explanation in III Grade, 
Lesson 4; for bendkneestep in IV Grade Lesson 3, etc. This involves 
the expectation that every teacher is thoroughly familiar with the lower 
grade's work, before attempting the work in a higher grade. 



ORDER OF EXERCISES. 

a. The lesson should begin with a familiar exercise. 

b. Open and close the lesson in a mild form, the vigorous work to 
come between these two points. 



IQ SPECIAL POINTS FOR TEACHERS. 

c. In general the order should be: 

1. Such arm exercises that will stimulate the blood circulation in 
the chest, or a familiar and lively marching exercise. 

2. Trunk exercises should then follow. 

3. Head, and arm or leg exercises. 

4. Arm and leg exercises. 

5. Close every lesson with a leg exercise, or if you did not open the 
instruction with a march, close with same. 

6. In the spring and fall term we often close our lesson with a breath- 
ing exercise. 

ABBREVIATIONS USED. 

L.— Left. 

R.— Right. 

Upw. — Upward. 

Inw. — Inward. 

Downw. — Downward. 

Outw. — Outward, away from the center of the body. 

Forw. — Forward. 

Backw. — Backward. 

Sidw. — Sideward, toward one side of the body. 

Obi.- — Obliquely, as: Obi. forw. up. that is midway between forw. and 
upw. Or: Obi. outw. up. that is midway between outw.

The term "Return" is also used freely instead of: Starting 
position. 



FIRST TERM. 

ALL GRADES. 

In the beginning of this term we must remember that pupils are re- 
turning from their summer vacation; consequently we find that during 
the vacation months, pupils in general, lower grade as well as higher 
grade pupils, have lost to some extent the familiarity with the exercises 
and work. For that reason it is advisable in the first few weeks to repeat 
every exercise first as a position a few times before moving in time, or 
rythm; thus the different movements and parts will better impress them- 
selves in their working order on the pupil's mind. Rising and seating, see 
Lesson 1, in I Grade; Fundamental and Resting positions, see Lesson 2, 
in I Grade, forms the opening and closing of every gymnastic period in 
every grade, and if the teacher in the beginning of the term will insist 
that all these movements in their details will be excuted correctly, she will 
not only save herself unnecessary corrections in the future, but it will also 
have a wholesome influence on all pupils to do only the best work. Thus 
we begin our work in a milder form, and by the time the cool season sets 
in, we find pupils will cheerfully do more good and active work. 



I GRADK. 

I TERM. 



LESSON U 

(This lesson will open and close all lessons of all grades.) 

a. To arrange. 

Attention! Pupils sit erect, placing hands in lap or on desk. 

Gymnastics! Pupils clear their desk, change seats for smallest and 
best pupils in front, tallest and poorer pupils in rear, girls for one and boys 
for next aisle; now sit erect, hands in small of back, heels locked, eyes to 
the front. 

One! Pupils move to R. (or L.) end of seat, placing R. (or L.) foot 
in middle of aisle, hands on desk. 

Two! Pupils rise with a slight pressure of hands on the desk and 
place L. (or R.) foot beside R. (or L.) foot in the middle of aisle in "Po- 
sition." 

The rear pupils should be instructed to always move far enough back 
(without expecting special words) so that he or she can move in the differ- 
ent exercises without touching anyone. In certain cases, where school- 
room is crowded, it is advisable to have the class execute Mj, or ^^ turn 
L. or R. before beginning trunk movements or arms forward. Another 



12 MANUAL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. 

plan is that the alternate aisles take one step forw. before beginning to 
exercise. 

b. Resuming seats. 

Be seated: One! Pupils be seated on R. (or L.) end of seat, hands 
on desk, L. (or R.) foot placed below desk. 

Two! Pupils move in middle of seat, lock heels and fold arms back- 
ward. Those that changed seats in the beginning will now resume their 
former seats. 

LESSON 2. 

(See Lesson 1 How to Arrange and Dismiss Class.) 

FUNDAMENTAL AND RESTING POSITIONS. 

L Attention! Position — Stand! In this, the "Fundamental Posi- 
tion,'^ heels and knees are locked, tip of feet turned outward, so that the 
feet will form a right angle. Legs and body are kept straight and erect, 
the body inclining a little torward, its weight bearing principally upon 
the forepart of the feet. Shoulders lowered and thrown backward, while 
the arms hang down by the sides, knuckles of hands slightly in front. The 
head is held erect, and the eyes look straight to the front, when not di- 
rected to the teacher. The mouth is closed, and breathing should in all 
cases be done through the nostrils. The "Position" should be free from 
all restraint. In order to be brief and concise in our future lessons we 
will use for "Fundamental Position," the term "Position — Stand!" 

2. To Rest — Stand! Clasp hands backward, and place left foot about 
six inches forward, while the left knee bends so that the weight of the 
body will rest largely on the right foot. (All positions except the "To 
Rest" are starting positions.) 

Repeat above two Positions several times. Changing from the rest- 
ing to the fundamental position, the change of position must be carried 
out vigorously and quickly. This change can also be done by counting: 
1 — 2, etc. Right here we will again remark, that the different positions 
are not taken before the execution command Stand! is given; bear this 
always in mind. 

3. Position — Stand! 

4. Clap hands in front — Clap! 

(Lower arms are raised and hands clap croswise in front of chest.) 
Hands — Down! 

5. Clap hands in front and lower quickly in one movement — Clap! 

6. Raise arms forw. — Raise! 

(Arms on level with shoulders, knuckles up, and hands shoulder- 
width apart.) 

Arms — Down! 

7. Raise arms forw. — Raise! Close and open hands — Close! — Open! 
— Arms — Down ! 

8. Hands on hips— Place!— Down!— Place! — Down! — Place! 

(The hands are so placed that the palms rest upon hips, fingers closed 
and pointed forw., thumbs backw., shoulders and elbows well back.) 



MANUAL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. 13 

y. Bend trunk forw. — Bend! Straighten trunk — Straighten! 

(This is a bending at the hips, body moving forw., with back and 
legs straight to a greater or lesser angle; the face should be directed 
forw.) 

10. Turn head to the L. — Turn! — Front! — Turn! — Front! Same, to 
the R, Hands — Down! 

(Be careful not to move shoulders, and move head slowly.) 

11. Raise arms forw. overh. — Raise! (Arms straightened, hands 
shoulder-width apart and knuckles turned outward, fingers closed and 
straightened upward.) Arms — Down! 

12. March around the room — March! 

(The first aisle on the R. (or L.) to begin, next aisle follow, then 
from the rear up to their aisles and seats. Continue several times. Do 
not expect to keep step in this grade.) 



LESSON 3, 

1. Repeat fundamental and resting positions. 
Position — Stand ! 

2. Raise arms forw. overh. — Raise! — Close and open hands — Close! 
— Open! — Arms — Down! 

3. Hands on hips — Place! Hands — Down! — Place! — Down! 

4. Raise shoulders — Raise! — Down! — 

(Raising is a shrugging of shoulders a little exaggerated. The 
shoulders move up and down in a straight line, the rest of body should not 
participate in the movement, especially not the head.) 

5. Raise arms forw. — Raise! Clap hands (once) — Clap! — Clap! — 
Clap! — Clap! Arms — Down! 

6. Hands on hips — Place! — Bend trunk forw. — Bend! — Straighten!

(The bending backward is similar to forward, except that the angle 
is greater; the back should form a curve; the head maintains its relative 
position; the face turned toward the ceiling. The legs should be straight 
and together. Bend but slightly at first and increase gradually.) 

7. Bend head backw. — Berd! — Raise! etc.

9. Hands on hips — Place! — Raise heels — Raise! — Down! etc. 
(When raising both heels the legs are perfectly straight and together, 

the feet remaining at right angles to each other; the body should be 
raised as high as possible and should not sway forward, and when heels 
are lowered, they must come down slowly and gently, without noise, 
and the body must not move backward.) 

10. Clap hands in front (once) — Clap! — On hips — Place! etc. 

11. Clap hands in front twice quickly — Clap! — On hips — Place! etc. 

12. The even aisles (alternates) about — Face! (turning on their heels 
to the opposite direction) — Through the aisles to your L. — March!

LESSON 5* 

This week lesson should constitute a review of the foregoing Avork. 

LESSON 6. 

In the foregoing lessons all instruction was to be given by "word 
of command'' without attempting rhythm, while from now on we will 
attempt mainly to move in rhythm, bv count, give the command — "In 
time"— Begin! 1—2— 1—2 etc. 

1. Position— S' and I' (1)— To Rest— Stand! (2)— In time— Beein!— 1— . 
2— 1—2— 1—2— Class (1)— Halt! (2.)

LESSON 2, 

1. Pos. — Stand! To rest — Stand! Pos. with clapping hands — 
Stand! — (At the moment of resuming fundamental position we quickly 
clap hands in front of chest and immediately drop same.) 

2 Mark time — March! 1 — 2, etc. Marking time (march on place) indi- 
cates a sham walk, where pupils raise left and right foot forward alter- 
nately. Tip of foot must invariably be straightened downward while rais- 
ing foot. When foot is placed on the floor left ball of foot strike floor 
first 

Class — Halt! Teacher should give command of Halt when left foot 
is raised, then pupils will close heels after raising right foot once more; 
the closing step is always taken with the right foot. In marking time the 
arms should hang quietly at the sides. 

While the movements should be noiseless, they should at the same 
time be combined with energy and elasticity. 

Call the attention of your class frequently to a proper and erect po- 
sition of body in marching. In marking time we call special attention to 
position of body (fundamental position.) 

Drill daily in "Marking time" the first few weeks.

(The leg is moved in the direction indicated, the ankle well extended 
and the toes placed on the floor; the foot retains the same relative posi- 
tion, i. e., at a right angle to the other. This holds good in all exercises in 
which one foot is moved away from the other. A fault to be particularly- 
guarded against in this exercise is the moving of the body either forw. or 
backw. and especially downw., i. e., a tilting upward of the hip on the side 
of the body on which is the leg that remains in place and carries the entire 
weight of the body, no weight being placed upon the foot that moves.)

ALL GRADES. 

This is the term of best and most active work, in which pupils are 
willing to put in their whole energ}' and force to bring their blood in good 
healthy circulation. Pupils are willing to move quickly and rapidly, and 
the teacher can also by this time change from one exercise to another 
without stopping the class; surely not in every exercise is this possible 
nor advisable, but in quite a number of exercises the teacher will notice 
that pupils will enjoy to change without stopping, and this enjoyment 
in the work is our best proof that there is no mental strain felt, to which 
we should always pay proper attention, for the lesson should always tend 
to a mental relief. The command — "Begin" which is given in the first two 
exercises of each lesson, should without fail be used throughout the 
lessons.

LESSON 9. 

In this lesson and in the following lesson, 10, it is advisable to allow 
the duration of time between the different movements to be somewhat 
longer than in the foregoing lesson, so that the class will fix every move- 
ment well and pose correctly. To effect this, place two counts on every 
movement, counting in the usual time, but placing stress on the odd 
counts. That would place 12, instead of 6 counts, on every exercise. 



MANUAL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. HI 

For holidays, "Washington's Birthday" or "Arbor Day," lesson 9 
can easily be arranged to give a pleasant and impressive idea of the 
work. Arrange in the following order: —

all the odd numbered aisles, then reverse. 

c. Exercise No. 4, all the even numbered aisles, and exercise No. 5 
all the odd numbered aisles, then reverse. 

d. Exercise No. 1, simultaneously. If the drill should be accom- 
panied by music, then it would be well to allow a pause of 12 counts after 
each one or two exercises. In the beginning the music should play four 
measures before the drill begins. This suggestion applies also to leson 10 
if arranged for a similar purpose.

THIRD "TERM. 



ALL GRADES. 

This term's work will consist mainly of review work from the fore- 
going terms, which work will be assigned to the teachers according to 
conditions, by the Supervisor of Physical Training. The new ideas herein 
represented are in accordance with the warm weather. The first idea 
is: — 

a. Place two counts on every movement, that would be for an exer- 
cise of two movements — 4 counts, for an exercise of four movements — 8 
counts, emphasizing the odd numbers, that would be the moment of ac- 
tivity. Of course this does not refer to marching exercises which will be 
conducted in the usual time and count. The above mode of conducting 
the work will not be carried on in the two lower grades. 

h. The other idea is, combining the free-gymnastics with marching 
exercises, either in unlimited or limited time. In the so-called limited 
time, placing two counts on every movement in free-gymnastics, will bring 
these exercises in proper rhythm with the marching exercises. 

Read under the heading of "Special Points for Teachers" "In Warm 
Days," Page— 9. rf 1 

We have prepared four original lessons for the last few weeks in this 
term for each two grades combined. 

The command — "Begin," which is given in the first two exercises 
of each lesson, should without fail be used throughout the lessons.

Unlimited time we would term when the class is called to halt at any mo- 
ment the teacher chooses, regardless of whether the class has been execut- 
ing the march 8 or 20 steps, or the free-gymnastic movements 4 or 12 
times. It should be understood that the teacher should also make use of 
conducting the exercises in unlimited time.
